The Water

Poem about water

The water looks so deceptively inviting
As I stand on the beach
Watching as it pushes itself
Just before my feet resting in the sand
The outside lights on the deck turn on
Making me turn my head
I see you standing on the deck
Staring at me
After a moment
You come down and stand next to me
As I turn and I look out into the water
You take my hand in yours
Squeezing tightly
To let me know that
You won’t let the water take me away
